October recap. It was a busy month, celebrating two birthdays (mine and Charles’!) and Halloween.

We spent a wonderful weekend downtown for Toronto Symphony Orchestra. And of course I squeezed in a run in the Toronto waterfront 😍

I was student of the month Aurora Family Martial Arts in September! What an honour and I am grateful to be a part of this wonderful community. I also completed 250 classes to date! ❤️

Did the brave thing and joined a community band!! It’s been a fun and challenging experience and I am excited for all the learning and fun 🤩

Re-create IKEA falafel bowl 🥣

Ran cumulatively 100km for The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation to carry the fire 🔥 Proud of myself for hitting that mileage for the first time in my life. I am grateful for all the donations, people sharing their stories, and allowing me to dedicate runs in their loved ones’ names ❤️ My family joined me a few of the runs and it felt extra meaningful

Free 🇵🇸

Finally tried Levant (not) Pizza and it was absolutely delicious. 🤤

First day of school for my kiddos!!

I have a teenager!

Lovely pre dawn sky at gym time 💪🏻

Made 3 cakes, many many loaves of bread, lots of pumpkin muffins 🎃

Clarinet practice 🎶

Eating is my second full time job (aside from running this month 🤪)

The pumpkin coffee cake muffins looked funny but they were delicious. Black sesame soy milk bread is good as usual 🍞

Running in the city. University of Toronto campus is gorgeous and we had to run by the convocation hall every time we are in the area. We also did our engagement photos here in 2008 🤯

More carbs for my run 🤪

Signs of fall 🍁🍃🍂

Celebrated our anniversary in September. 23 years together and 17 years married 🤯

The Royal Ontario Museum

Hitting the gym during our anniversary weekend away. It is fun to try new gyms together, except the machines at this hotel desperately need some maintenance 😅

Delicious “risotto” at TONO by Akira Back Toronto - Peruvian & Japanese fusion. This seafood mariscos is made with Kanin(crab) miso and assorted seafood. Full of umami and so scrumptious

The diet and fitness industry throws endless contradictory noise at us: “Cardio kills your gains.” “You can lose fat and build muscle at the same time.” “Running is only useful to burn calories.”

All of these messages miss the entire plot.

You do not have to choose between being a runner or a lifter. You do not need a specific aesthetic, a flat stomach, or elite performance metrics to “qualify” to be either.
You become a lifter simply because you lift. You become a runner simply because you run.
It does not matter how heavy the dumbbell is or what your kilometre splits look like.

I am completely fine with being mediocre at the activities I choose to do. I chose them simply because I enjoy them and they fit my life. More importantly, they showed me how much my body is capable of doing, feeling, and handling, especially when I feed myself to fuel that capability and recovery, without guilt, moralising, or a competing agenda to shrink.

Eating well is not a reward for surviving a workout. It is the baseline requirement for keeping your energy high and your recovery intact. It is what allows you to move because you treat your body with respect and care, rather than using exercise as a punishment for what you ate.

When you stop treating movement as a calorie-burning penance, you finally give yourself permission to become a competent, well-fuelled eater.

Cancer changes everything in a single moment. Having watched my loved ones face this disease, I have witnessed first-hand the emotional and physical toll a diagnosis takes on an entire family. It reshapes how you see the future and reinforces just how urgent the fight for better treatments truly is.

This September, I am turning that personal connection into purposeful action by running 100 kilometres to Carry The Fire for cancer patients and their loved ones.

The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation is leading the way in global oncology research, innovative therapies, and compassionate patient care. By supporting my run, your donation directly funds the science needed to catch cancer earlier and treat it more effectively.

I want these miles to carry real meaning beyond just logging distance. Almost everyone has felt the weight of cancer in their family or circle. I want to use my runs to honour the people you love. ❤️

How to dedicate a run:

1.⁠ ⁠Donate $10 or more to my PMCF Run 100 page (link in bio).
2.⁠ ⁠Leave a note with your donation or DM me the name (or initials) of the person you want to honour.
3.⁠ ⁠I will dedicate an entire run to them - carrying their name with me and sharing the completed run on my stories. 💕

If you are able, please consider backing my 100 km challenge with a donation. Together, we can fund the breakthroughs that give families more time and better outcomes.

August recap ❤️

Highlight of the month was our trip to Grand Bend: beach, waves, sunset, ice cream, slow mornings, movies, many many board games and charades 😍

Had many runs, some with kids and some with .tam. Did a few on the trails in nature 🍃🪾

Made many loaves of sourdough and yeasted bread 🍞

Got some synthetic reeds from Légère Reeds to try for my clarinet 🎶

Accompanied .tam to get a new guitar 🎸❤️🎶

Biggest bummer was my failed iron IV infusion. Hypersensive reaction that felt like anaphylactic episodes I’ve had and it was scary 🫣

Here is to health, movement, and more quality family time in September ❤️

Eating does not need to be perfect and normal eating looks different from one person to another. What would “normal” eating look like for you? 🧠

Nuance is so underrated 😏

July recap: summer camps, chauffeuring kids around, ran outside lots, tried very hard to keep the kids active, read a ton, and made many cups of matcha… 🍵
